Summary

With the aid of the some of the world's leading education scholars, the editors of Ideology, Curriculum, and the New Sociology of Education critically assess Michael Apple's monumental influence on the field of education today. For more than three decades, Apple has been one of the most prominent and important critical sociologists of education in the United States and in the English-speaking world. This is the first book to provide a systemic evaluation of his work and, like Apple's work itself, it presents a broad treatment of the field, with essays spanning a range of disciplines and topics, including: curricular knowledge; schools as sites that reproduce social inequalities; emancipatory educational practices; and, the linkages between the economy and race, class, and gender formations.
